Sitting in M&K's living room, seeing occasional huge flashing lightning bursts off to the north, followed ten or fifteen seconds later by long rumbling thirty-second thunder rolls. One of them a few minutes ago was this huge crashing boom that just went on and on. Very impressive.<\/p>\n
I stopped by Twitter to see what people were saying about it; even though Twitter still doesn't really fit my head, I do think it's sometimes kinda fun to do searches to see what people are posting in realtime. Like in this case I searched for thunder chicago<\/a> and saw several suitably impressed tweets. (But for some reason, that link isn't working for me. Sorry about that.)<\/p>\n Ellie (M&K's dog) came downstairs; couldn't tell if she was scared or just wanted company. I petted her a little, and then she sat on the other couch for a few minutes, and then when the lightning and thunder slacked off, she headed back upstairs.<\/p>\n (I originally posted this with the wrong date; now reposting it with correct date. Apologies if that messes up anyone's feeds.)<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sitting in M&K’s living room, seeing occasional huge flashing lightning bursts off to the north, followed ten or fifteen seconds…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[85],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-12268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nature"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12268"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/12268\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=12268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.kith.org\/jed\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=12268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
